Beat the Monday blues with Ab tere bin jee lenge hum by Kumar Sanu Beat the Monday blues with Ab tere bin jee lenge hum by Kumar Sanu

The most beautiful way to star my Mondays, reading Sulagana Biswas' column "Beat The Monday Blues" in The Telegraph - T2. Here's a poignant homage to the music that sustained my 90s, and at least for me, kept my dreams alive in a world that was mostly full of bad humans.

Israeli commados taking Gaza-bound aid ship, Madleen, to Israel The Madleen crew are now being detained by Israeli forces after their ship was stopped close to 100 miles from Gaza.

Thank you Aoife. Honoured.

Thanks for posting. I know these students very well and they have taken on a herculean task of supporting this newcomer young man who became unhoused and has no social support in Calgary.

The level of anxiety and sadness I am feeling about the escalation of India's war with Pakistan is unsettling. What is this madness? No one wins in a war!
